Nease Lacrosse Team Awards

Lombardo Award The Lombardo award goes to the team's "UNSUNG HERO." This award is named after Patti Lombardo who basically started lacrosse at Nease High School. Patti played a leadership role in organizing everything under the sun from its inception. She did all the "grunt work" and behind the scenes stuff, which is what an "Unsung Hero" does.

# 7 JerseyCarrying on # 7 JerseyJamie Chapin was one of the first ever Nease Panthers, and a former captain. He passed away in 2011 right before our season after a hard fought battle with brain cancer. The #7 jersey was taken out of play to honor Jamie and given to Justin Lee at the end of the season. Justin wore this jersey until he graduated in 2014. The jersey was then passed on to a freshman, Tyler Schaffer, to wear for another 4 years. Tyler passed on the jersey to Matt Pounder at the end of the 2017 season.
